Pace looks to be genuine with Braidwood Queen and Masali Raffa matching motors in advance of Four Leaf Wonder and Penseur Positif. DASHING HOPE (5) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth over 1400m at Sunshine Coast. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. FOUR LEAF WONDER (3) was below his best last time when seventh over 1200m at Thangool. Has the ability to figure prominently. BRAIDWOOD QUEEN (4) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back at Kilcoy with a win as favourite over 1470m at Gympie two weeks ago, getting home by 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MASALI RAFFA (6) ran below expectations last time at Thangool, finishing fifth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,3,4.
